"Don't be nervous, they're like that. Jackson said in a natural tone.

Elena looked at Jackson's expression, and didn't seem to hide the feeling of comfort or anything like that, and nodded, although curious, she didn't continue to ask because she didn't know how to ask.

'Do your parents hate each other?'

Jackson gave Elena the privacy space to make the call, and did not sit in on it. It didn't take long for the girl to put down the phone, and with a sigh of relief, she returned to Jackson and headed back to the restaurant.

The atmosphere at the table was more harmonious without one person, and Mrs. Sharp was very intimate to postpone the process of dinner, and waited for the two to return, before it officially began.

Mrs. Bisharp smiled, "Did you have fun in the afternoon?" she actually opened the conversation, as if she wanted to talk over dinner.

Jackson couldn't tell if this was an anomaly, because it was the first time he had invited someone to his home. Jackson has no precedent to compare, so no matter what kind of expression his mother, who is usually a poker face, will have, he will not judge him.

Maybe 'hospitality' was one of his mother's undiscovered qualities?

"Thank you, ma'am. Elena glanced at Jackson, who was not unusual, and accepted the other party's kindness with peace of mind, "I'm having a good time." ”

Mrs. Bisharp chuckled, "Little girl, you are too easily satisfied. ”

Jackson was stunned, he had never heard this laughter, this tone, this description, 'little girl' from his own mother's mouth?

Elena didn't feel anything wrong, and glanced at Jackson suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Bishop actually raised the fork in her hand at the table, and in her own words, it was no politeness!, but she smiled. "Nothing, it just reminds me of myself. She casually waved the fork in her hand that reflected the glimmer of light, "Caring young man, big family, unlimited snacks, servant who answers a qiē request......"

Mrs. Bisharp raised her eyebrows, curled the corners of her mouth, and a flash of sadness flashed in her eyes for an instant, "These things. Let the little girl ...... Fall. ”

Elena tensed, she did not quite understand what Mrs. Bisharp said. In fact, we still don't understand it.

Mrs. Bishop seemed to realize that she had said something strange, smiled and waved her hand, raising an eyebrow at Elena, "I mean, don't let these things buy you. Mrs. Bisharp glanced at Jackson and actually blinked, the meaning of which was unknown.

Jackson frowned, he had no idea what his mother was thinking. In fact. Recently, the atmosphere at home has been wrong.

While Hayley was still around, at least there was a semblance of peace, which seemed to have been shattered after Hayley's disappearance. At the dinner table, the only time a family can gather is usually spent arguing over trivial matters.

Then, after the arrival of the Grande brothers, the atmosphere became even worse, and the quarrel had disappeared. But what ushered in was even worse cold violence.

As Jackson, who has lived in this home since birth, he has seen enough things. He was able to guess the reasons behind the changes. But now. At the table with one more guest, something was going on that Jackson couldn't understand at all.

"That. Mrs. Bisharp had no need to explain, and smiled, "You two little ones, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"

Is this a formal permission to continue dating?Elena began to blush and lowered her head slightly. Shake it.

Jackson looked at his mother with some confusion and put her eyes on his face, and Mrs. Sharp used a urging tone, "Jackson?"

Jackson pursed his lips, "No plans yet, Mother." ”

Mrs. Bishop smiled. He smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "It seems that my son is not very caring." ”

Jackson wanted to refute, but he had no reason and pursed his lips helplessly. He really didn't even come up with a location for a second date. Even though he told Blake that he wanted to be the one who took the initiative like a man, so far, he hasn't taken the initiative for anything!

Mrs. Bishop seemed to know her son's thoughts very well, and thought for a moment, "Tomorrow night there is a prom at Raipt High School. She smiled, "Why don't you two little ones get a taste of high school life in advance?"

"Prom?" was the first thing Elena noticed.

The corners of Jackson's eyebrows unconsciously raised, looking at his mother, this is really a good idea! At the same time, he was also a little annoyed, why didn't he think of it!

"yes. Mrs. Bisharp looked at Elena and smiled and asked, "By the way, Elena, are you going to Reipt in high school?" ”

Mrs. Bishop was very attentive and had already begun to make an extension of the itinerary for the two of them.

"Oh. Elena shook her head a little disappointed, "I think my parents would have preferred me to stay on the South Side for high school." ”

"Really, it's a good hope to be closer to home. Mrs. Bisharp's words were incoherent, but she was clearly not going to continue on the topic of revealing class disparities.

Mrs. Sharp thought for a moment and looked at Jackson, "If you go to the North End, remember to find Lola and Capler to accompany you." She smiled and rolled her eyes away, "Blake is also in the North End, so there shouldn't be any surprises, and I can rest assured." ”

Such an obvious hint of how could Jackson not accept it, he nodded, "I will, Mother." ”

Remember what was the biggest obstacle to Jackson's dating?

Mrs. Bishop, smiling and nodding, stopped talking, and enjoyed her dinner intently.

However, this enjoyment did not last long, and the owner of Bisharp actually returned!

Bishop sat back in the main seat without saying a word, not knowing what emotions he was suppressing, and his face tightened. He completely skipped his abrupt retreat, glanced at the table that had been depressed by his return, and his eyes fell on Elena, in as smooth a tone as possible, "Jackson, you haven't introduced your friends yet." ”

"Elena, father. Jackson didn't look at the person sitting on the Lord, calmly, "I already introduced it when I came in the afternoon, have you forgotten?" ”

The slight impact of the cutlery was obviously the result of Bisharp's suppressed anger, but he didn't explode again, and after being silent for a long time, he actually held back a string of laughter, "Hahaha......" Very unnatural laughter, "I forgot about it!"

Jackson's hand put down the table and patted the nervous Elena, which could be regarded as comfort.

Silence returned to the restaurant, and the four of them handled their food, and then, the silence was broken again, and the still unnatural laughter began, "Hehe. Jackson, do you two have any plans for the summer vacation?"

It's as if time has gone back. The same question was placed at this table.

Jackson pursed his lips, looking back in memory of the last time his parents had agreed on the same thing. He didn't find it in his memory, for the first time.

Jackson frowned, his gaze sweeping over his parents with different faces. He doesn't think it's a good thing, because it's not a scenario without precedent, it's a precedent that's completely opposite to what it is, and that's an anomaly!

The atmosphere of this family dinner has changed again, and it has become even more eerie. However, Jackson was beginning to perceive the reason behind this shift.

"There are some, father. Jackson looked at his plate, "We want to go to the North End and attend Reipter's prom." I'll let Lola and Blake stay with them......"

Jackson said, but he didn't mention it at all, it was brought up by his mother, do you know why? Because Jackson, from the experience of living in this family since he was a child, noticed that he was caught in the middle. (To be continued......)
